Thomas Brouillard, an executive living in Shanghai, bought this plot of land on Koh Samui, Thailand, in 2011. He spent around 15 months building one of three planned villas and completed construction in April.

Mr. Brouillard, originally from France, intends to build three villas on the development. Funds from the first villa's sale will go toward building the remaining two villas, he said.

Known as Blue Villa, the property is rented out to tourists with rates as high as $2,200 per night during peak season. Guests stay between four days to two weeks, according to Mr. Brouillard.

Perched atop the Bophut hills, the three-level villa has a sweeping view across the Gulf of Thailand, overlooking nearby islands such as Koh Pha Ngan.

The villa is located near Bophut, a beach village on the island's northern coast. It is about 3 miles away from the nearest town and 5 miles away from Koh Samui's international airport.
